Eight hallmark projects should be delivered as short, medium and long term interventions to grow Ealing's cultural offer and deliver opportunities for residents.
Each of Ealing's seven towns - Acton, Ealing Town, Hanwell, Northolt, Greenford, Perivale and Southall - has a unique offer and opportunity to raise its cultural profile. Culture can also be embedded in existing council initiatives, such as emerging plans for a regional park.
Based on this, eight hallmark projects offer key opportunities to respond to principles and build upon each town's offer over the lifespan of the cultural infrastructure plan. Short term projects are those which the council can initiate itself. These include projects in council-owned assets. Medium term projects are those where the council will have some agency, but will need to convene and enable external partners. Long term projects are larger scale projects which will require establishing long-standing partnerships and attracting investment.
